I received feedback on my dissertation 40 minutes ago. I'm giving myself two days to try and revise my paper so it has more of a scholarly voice and sounds less like a story. Aside from adding in a few more citations (which I was pretty sure would be requested) and some apparently obligatory tables and/or figures (which I did not think was necessary in a qualitative study), the only comment was that my writing was too entertaining and not dry enough for academic work. I felt that I was being thorough and left emotional aspect out of it, but apparently, dissertations need to be even duller.
I've looked a few other dissertations that have been accepted by Walden, and I don't see much that separates me from them. Hopefully, I can add in a few of those citations, build some almost meaningless (but apparently required) tables and/or figures, and make my writing less entertaining in the next couple of days, and start this cycle of waiting again.
